Art has been around in many forms for a long time now. Even ancient civilizations like Egyptians or Mayans use to practice arts in forms of rock sculpture or painting or even literature which dates back to 2100 B.C. Music has been around for quite some time also.

However one of the latest arts that has been born in the last century is Cinematography, the art of creating motion pictures, also knows as films, or more commonly, movies.

The “foundations” of an art is generally called talent. That’s right, not everyone is cut to be an artist of any kind, you just need to have that special something. It is very hard to learn how to become an artist without being born with the talent required. For example, when I was a little kid, in elementary school, I just couldn’t understand how other kids couldn’t draw a perfect circle when it all seemed so easy for me, so therefore, a talent must be recognized by other because in many cases an individual could have a particular talent without even knowing it.

I have been an artist, for what, 20 years now… I always liked to draw thing, and I did.. a lot. So I was getting better and better. After high school I even took art classes and started painting with oil on canvas. After that I just liked it so much, paintings were coming and going.

Several years ago, while I was at the countryside, just sitting and chilling in a cool summer evening, an idea suddenly came to my mind. I started thinking about the new 3D technology I saw back then at news, so I wondered how would that look like combined with paintings. So I did some research, and found about about bas relief sculptures. bas-relief actually means “low relief” represents the quality of a projected image where the overall depth is shallow and the background is compressed or completely flat.

After doing the research, I began testing methods to combine the bas-relief technique with a painting. My idea was to grant a wall painting the properties of bas-relief. First I tried using gypsum on a special canvas… but unfortunately the end result wasn’t what I expected. The weight of the modeled art was too big, so therefore I had to rethink it. After some time I had another great idea on what material to use and the final result was outstanding, five times less weight, it was perfect.

Soon after that, in a few months I made about 30 of these paintings and had an exhibition in the local museum. It all went so good all the people were impressed so I didn’t even wonder why at least half of them were sold in a couple of days.

Nelly Sachs in the Jewish Museum

Until 27June 2010, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, showing the world a jew-Swedish poet Nelly Sachs, literature since 1966 has won the Nobel Prize. Sachs was the first poet who has never won the prize for the letter in German. He wrote his poems in a small apartment in Stockholm, sometimes in the darkavoid awakening her ailing mother. Sacks died 78 years old, on 12 May 1970.

The exhibition, marking 40 years since the poet’s death, includes a duplicate of the small kitchen where she wrote her works, as well as photos, documents, films and personal effects, such as the dictionary “Swedish for beginners – in 30 hours”, which allow a glimpse of her inner world. That world was deeply influenced by the traumatic events of 1940, when Nellie and her mother flew in the last passenger plane leaving Berlin to Stockholm. They managed to escape Berlin, having already been handed a deportation order to a concentration camp.

A childhood dream of Nelly was of being a dancer. She imagined making dancing movements each time she listened to her father playing the piano. The father’ a Jewish businessman, died in 1930. “Dancing was my way of expression long before writing,” she said later.

At the age of 17, Nelly fell in love with a man, who remained anonymous until now. Because of her unrequited love, she stopped eating and was hospitalized for three years at a sanatorium. Her first poems were written there. After the death of her father, she nursed her sick mother, while trying to publish her poems. However, when Hitler came to power, the publication of her works was limited to “No – Aryan” forums only.

During her early years in exile in Stockholm she devoted herself to take care of her sick mother. At night, she sat at the typewriter and expressed in his poems the horrors the Nazi regime. When her mother died in 1950, Nelly Sachs, who was 60, remained alone, for the first time in her life.

Ibn Sina was a Muslim scientist, who lived more than 1,000 years, and was the first one who knew about the link between physical medicine and psychiatric treatments. The book, written originally in Arabic, was translated into Latin in the 12th century, and served as a textbook for medical universities in Europe for more than 500 years.

Rabindranath Tagore – my favorite author

Filed under: Literature — Tags: , , , — arts @ 6:55 pm

The first time I sang the national anthem written by Rabindranath Tagore and rhythm and melody had touched my heart and increases the love for Bangladesh. I started reading his stories and poems that he created for children of my great joy. Its power to simplify and show the beauty of truth in small things for the extended explanation for my feelings of curiosity make him my favorite author. The Tagore family were a cultured and wealthy.Rabindranath Tagore was born in 7th May 1861 and died 7th August 1941. His father, Devendranath was one of the leaders of the Brahma Samaj. The poet of the early years spent painting in an atmosphere of religion and art, literature, music. As the author of the trend of his life was considered in advance. He studied and taught in three languages, Sanskrit, Bengali and English.

Tagore's literary life over sixty years, lying, and he recalls Victor Hugothe abundance and diversity of his work: More than a thousand poems, nearly two dozen games and can play, eight novels, eight or more volumes of short stories, more than two thousands songs, of which he also wrote the words and music, and a mass of prose on literary, social, religious, political and others. In addition to his English translations of some of his literary works, his paintings, his travels and lecture tours in Asia, America and Europe, and how its activitiesEducator, as social and religious reformer, and as a politician and as we found just the quantity, the work of the life of a nipple. Suffice it to say that his genius was no longer able to take infinite pains, but the element of steel and cement, which went to his trial and, therefore, have the legend that has grown in some quarters in recent years known the poet Tagore pale lily table sir '.

In 1901 he founded his school Santiniketan, toBolpur in protest against the education system badly. The school was a great success and transfigured Viswabharati. In England in 1911 brought the English Gitanjali, and the publication in 1912 and awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year made him world famous. This was the first award of the prize is Asian. The rest of Tagore was issued on the life of Santiniketan, except for some trips and lecture tours in whichbrought his message of unity of mankind in all major countries of Asia, America and Europe.

Tagore was a proud and ardent patriot. His most intense period of political activity was in the years after 1905, when the agitation against the partition of Bengal was at full speed. He renounced his knighthood in 1919 as a protest against the Amritsar affair in a letter to the Viceroy, the great documents of freedom. His poems and patriotic songs, especially theThese were delivered to the common heritage of his country, the song "Bharata-bhagya vidata-" is now sung all over India and "Amar Sonar Bangla", as in Bangladesh, the national anthem. In this context, I discuss some of his books that have touched the heart of a boundless joy in the direction of true intellectual and cultural life.

HOIMONTI

It 'an extraordinary story, which Tagore tried a contrast between the two families, consisting of conservative thoughtand the modern. Hoimonti was in the modern education system in which his father is influenced by the right knowledge, culture, heritage and had the means to the real-life situation brought punishment. But bad luck would have it, she was married Opu, a son of conservative family. This family believed in superstitions and social customs. Opu father and mother had prejudices that affect Hoimonti enormous. In recent Hoimonti faded and his father-in-law was looking for anotherThe bride for his son.

BOLA

The film is about a boy who has no mother and was raised by his aunt. He developed the character that comes from his age group. He has a passion for unusual plants and trees. Bola would not tolerate if someone remove the plants and trees. He thought that each plant a unique life that is unknown to all. She showed her love and compassion for the tree that grew in an area inappropriate. Over the lasthis favorite tree was when his father brought to Shimla cut for higher education. Bola aunt was the destruction of the tree, which he thought was upset, the personification of Bola.

Shesh Kabita

This is a famous novel by Tagore founded. The actress and actor in the history Labonne is Amit. The contrast and loves them reflects significantly. The book has the greatest value to the literary world. The only real love affair with high worldThe literature was clearly reflected here, where the two men are eager desire to know others. Were free of greed, jealousy, bad temper and allusion, and know how to deal with social criticism and social criticism contradictory.

KABULIWALA

The protagonists of this story is a girl named Mini and Rahmat Kabuliwala. Kabuliwala Afghanistan, has sold things door to door. Once the Mini was introduced, the talkative girlwas five. The man has his daughter, the age of Google Mini is again left at home. Mini Kabuliwala developed a friendship and very good. Kabuliwala used to bring dried fruit for mini as a gift and showed the patience to listen Mini. They used each other was for "in-laws house Tease. For some reason the man should go to eight years in prison. After being released from prison, wanted to meet Mini. But time is Mini marriage. Over the past eight years hasforget her boyfriend Kabuliwala. She was not as easy as her childhood and I felt shy to see him. Kabuliwala felt the distance of time between them and the daughter.

POST MASTER

This is a story of Rabindranath a postmaster. The director was transferred to a post office village India. He meets a girl named Ratan, with whom he never spoke hours after hours. One day the postmaster became ill, Ratan took care of himand was developed in this way a close relationship between them. As the postmaster of the town was the girl was transferred again shocked and asked him to take, but the postmaster was not able to take it. Rattan lived with the pain of pure good memory, he had spent with the postmaster.

I like Rabindranath book because I learn many things about the country, people and nature. We know the problems, religion, culture and heritage of BengaliLife. His books sometimes really create emotion, intuition and excitement for the reader, by social conflicts and the contrast between the educated and modern conservative. Furthermore, deeply rooted in his life with poetry was seen clearly so significant that touches my heart to a large extent.

If you do great study on the literature on modern and contemporary art, and finds out that the effects of Futurist art in 1909 is impressive and futuristic work of art has been enriched and developed to maximum elegance. In 1909, an Italian artist named Filippo Tommaso Marinetti explained clearly on the philosophy of Futurism in his article in the Futurist Manifesto. Futurism was an artistic revolution that challenges the conventional paintingand the importance of institutional power.

The Futurist artist denies the important role of churches, chapels, educational and religious dogma in society. Invite the world's ultra-modern, upgradation of technology platform high, speed, dynamism and speed of the base. We all live in the era of the machine, and we are not teacher training to update our knowledge bank. They believe in the modern life style and craftsmanship, which will bemechanical and dynamic character. The 20th century artistic revolution has proven to accept a big impression on the then artistic guild or association, their inclination to the philosophy of Futurism.

However, as the violence, vandalism and destruction of moral superiority, which is also known fascist. Meanwhile, there were only a few artists, life Russian Futurist art emulates the future because of its strong tendency to speed and dynamics within, were favorablethe philosophical aspects of Futurist paintings and even mocked the conventional technique by their number. But then, the Futurist artists have followed the principles of cubism.

In particular, the cubism art technology used to bring modern art to modify the design models. Art in Cuba, the fragmentation of art that can be viewed in different ways. The Cuban artists prefer the use ofNewspapers, Matchbox and other materials to paint the image of extravagance. Kasimir Malevich, the concept of Cuba in his Futurist paintings created a punch.

The overlap is the function of Cuban art and art imitating Kazimir Cuban painting the picture. It should be remembered that the political party futurist Marinetti founded in 1918 and later the party was recognized in order to maintain the national fascist Benito Mussolini. To be honest, and the futurepaved the simple entry of films and cinema in world trade. In this context, the role of Neo-Futurism is also important to create a new opera and theater.

Jeet Kune Do Experience

Filed under: Literature — Tags: — arts @ 1:42 pm

The "Jeet Kune Do Experience: Understanding Bruce Lee's Ultimate Martial Art" by Jerry Beasley (Paladin Press) includes materials Beasley "In Search of the Ultimate Martial Art" and "The Way of No Way". It deals with training in the system of Jeet Kune Do (JKD). The book is not about Bruce Lee, but the art he created.

This book attempts to Beasley, is an acceptable definition of the term Jeet Kune provided on the basis ofPrinciples to resolve the conceptual framework. He does so by recognizing the values and views of people who studied directly with Bruce Lee, as participants or second hand. Beasley is the knowledge of JKD primarily from his study with Dan Inosanto, Joe Lewis, has conducted two very martial artists and own. It will probably always be debate between Jeet Kune what is true practitioners of Jeet Kune Do or how it differs from Jeet Kune Do and other conceptsTraining philosophies, use the same term JKD. For this reason, it can be readers Jeet Kune do not agree that the definition of dealing with Beasley and his version of Bruce Lee's art. I can about it is that I do not study or teach JKD, or say which version of each. I tried this book as Beasley was, frankly and without payment of preconceived opinions and conclusions read. And from that point of view, I found this book to be read on an instructive and entertaining. I foundThings in this book that I taught and relate to my martial arts training.

The first half of the book was Beasley "In Search of the Ultimate Martial Art, who wrote in 1988 Chapters include search path, go to the source, the next generation, the ability of Jeet Kune Do and conclusions. I particularly liked the chapter go to the source Witch contained interviews with Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell, we unfortunately lost, until recently, and JoeLewis. I enjoyed reading the words of which were such an influence not only JKD, but martial arts has been so many years. The weakest part of this section of the book for me was the chapter on JKD skills. This chapter shows a variety of techniques, illustrated with photographs in sequence. The chapter shows, was in a small sample of JKD techniques, all right, and this was the most important goal. It will not teach JKD, which is good. I just enjoyed the rest of the bookmost of this chapter. The conclusions chapter some concepts that no study should be knowledgeable in martial arts. It 'was instructive, as Beasley presented his thoughts on his book gave me even more in my way to think about.

The second part of the book is Beasley "The Way of No" Way, originally published in 1992 and is based on a number of newspaper article from Beasley that time. It consists of chapters with the title of a science for development using JKDthe principles of JKD, The Matrix, Training and the conclusions and observations. Once again I enjoyed the writing much more than conceptual techniques, accompanied by photographs. I felt the weakest chapter of the book was the basic training. It provided some basic weight lifting exercises and drills training, showing images. This chapter is not as useful as the chapter on the use of the principles of JKD. I especially liked the reprint of this article written by Beasleyand Joe Lewis, "Beyond the angles of attack," which was originally in the July 1988 Black Belt Magazine published.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I do not study or teach JKD, but I found a lot of wisdom and value in some of the concepts of Beasley wrote. I also like to know more about Jeet Kune Do and those who did the pioneers of art since Bruce Lee. I especially like the book closes with Beasley in memory after the callMovie "Circle of Iron", where the main character of the book will open the "truth" to find a reflection of themselves. Each of us is our truth. Beasley JKD JKD might not like the others must be, and Beasley acknowledges and agrees, however, know that Beasley "The Jeet Kune Do Experience" is a good book for those who want to better understand the art of JKD and certainly a better understanding of their education.
